I've no more read any books on anarchism (or whatever you please to call it) than on socialism. My observations are on historic societies that outlived their western counterparts by hundreds fold. They didn't write things down, but they had common , no government, and rule by unanimous agreement, all coupled with respect and humility for one another. That you wish to argue terminologies is indicative of western ideological thinking. It can be quite simple, but certain truths are immutable. If you have government, you don't have anarchy. If you have hierarchical leaders, you don't have anarchy. If you have rule by majority vote, you don't have anarchy, because 49% of the people are forced to obey 51%. If that's a thing you want then fine. If it's something different you want, it can't be called anarchy because it's not that. And tbh, nothing on these pages tells me there's even half a chance at that, because people have too much ego to make it work. It disappoints me, but the pragmatist in me says that we get what we deserve. If we want a kind society, we have to practise being kind. If we want our rights goddamit(!)we will get something different. |
